Player of the match
Heinrich Klaasen | Seattle Orcas
I knew it was going to be difficult. struggled at the start with my swing but decided to pull the trigger and it worked. Trent getting those wickets got me nervous but we got over the line.
I pride myself not to get out in the middle overs and try to keep the strike rate at 140-150 in that period. It is quite hot in Dallas and you don’t want to play a day game, but playing Qualifier 1 also gives you a couple of cracks of reaching the final.
